For Jon and Erin Bennett, the world seems to be spinning
dangerously out of control. A new dictator is rising in
Iraq. China is making threatening new moves toward Taiwan.
North Korean forces appear ready to strike south. Israel is
feverishly trying to complete the Third Temple. Oil prices
are surging. And in the wake of an horrific war in the
Middle East, President James MacPherson's second term is
coming to an end. Now the battle to succeed him is heating
up into one of the most fiercely contested presidential
elections in American history, and the Bennetts realize the
stakes could not be higher. Who will lead a bitterly divided
country over the next four years? What can the U.S. do to
shape the new world order? And just what role--if any--does
the U.S. play in the last days? As the presidential campaign
narrows into a dead heat, the Secret Service learns of a
catastrophic plot to assassinate one of the candidates--but
which one, and can the terrorists be stopped in time?
